Hey,
it would help you alot more if we new more about the situation, how old is the colt now? and is he yours for definate? i don't recomend taking him from his mum if he is still feeding from her, but if he is a yearling then you can take him.
Is there any way you could take the mum with them?
if the mum has a different owner then you could try talking to them and explaining the situation.
Also what do you mean by not the safest and not the healthiest? just an idea but why don't you ask the farm owner if you can raise money for them you could say to them "hey i just thought it would be a good idea to raise some money, to buy better fences for them or better facilaties" they mite like the idea that they would get better equipment etc. for free.
you could have a sponsered ride, or tack clean or something like that!
i would say that if you feel it is really bad then get the RSPCA on them!(but only if it is seriousely bad)
also if you take your colt from there then you will never know whats going on to the other poor horses so it could be fate that you change the farm and make it nice! you can't rely on other people to say something

hope this will help you in any way
if you need any more help just post in this forum again
Hope this wasn't too long winded!
i would also like to hear from you tom know you have read this
thanx Gemma
